Budget lunch in the jungle

The iconic jungle-themed restaurant Rainforest Cafe is launching a new lunch menu today focused on budget-friendly choices, the company said.

The menu is based on a pilot program tested at the Galleria and now has been rolled out nationally to the 26 locations across the country. It includes, among others, chicken-fried chicken, fish tacos, fried shrimp, flat-iron steak and chicken Caesar salad. Most of the entrees are less than $10.
